This shredder is enormously better than the previous shredders I have used at home over the last ten years. Things that I particularly like about it are as follows. (a) It has a bin that pulls out. This is so much better than having to lift a heavy main unit off a lightweight bin. It avoids the problem that I encountered with my last device (a Staples product) of the risk of breaking the ridiculously-thin plastic ridge inside the bin that operates the safety shutter if the main unit is lowered into the bin a few degrees off absolutely horizontal -- something that cost me dearly in the first month I had the shredder. The vendor said that its warranty covered only the main unit, not the plastic bin, and that I had to pay $50 for a new bin -- almost two-thirds of the cost of the product that I had purchased only weeks before. This problem is avoided entirely with the Fellowes pull-out bin. In addition, you can pull out the bin with the device in place under your desk, without having to drag the whole thing out into the middle of the room. (b) The Fellowes shredder is really quiet compared with all the other devices I have owned. (c) The shredder is significantly narrower than many other products: it fits nicely under my desk behind my waste-paper basket.I'm hoping that the five-year warranty means that the folks at Fellowes are really sure that their main unit is well-made. The weak point in many models is the use of plastic gear-wheels in combination with metal ones (e.g., metal-plastic-metal-plastic-metal). The most fragile part in this situation is the plastic gear that engages with the metal gear on the motor shaft. If the shredder jams abruptly (as opposed to slowing down under load, then jamming) there is a good chance the motor will keep turning and the motor-shaft metal gear will strip the teeth from a section of the plastic gear. Then your shredder is dead. That's how my last one died, based on the post mortem I performed. (This was after the warranty had expired.) I'm hoping the Fellowes has all-metal gear-wheels; but I hope I don't have to find out. I'll let you know in five years. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great Shredder *by K***D on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2014* This is a really impressive shredder. Very easy to use. I only received it a few hours before writing this so I've not had a lot of experience with it. So far I have shredded a few 10 page documents and it handled them with ease. I have also shredded some DVD's and bank cards, and again it was like putting a hot knife to butter it shredded with ease. As well as being very functional, it also looks pretty neat too. I like the safety feature which stops little prying fingers from entering the paper feeder, and I also like the fact that I can simply pull-out the drawer to empty the shredded paper. Gone are the day's when I have to life the heavy shredder top to take the bin away to empty. In the short time that I have had this shredder I would recommend it without hesitation.UPDATE: Just over 2 months down the line I regret that this machine failed miserably to perform. The Amazon description clearly states that this shredder can shred CD's. However the first time I tried to shred a CD, the machine literally broke.And now I cannot use it at all. More to the point is the fact that after contacting Fellows they have washed their hands off the issue. Fellows has indicated that this machine is NOT designed to shred anything but paper, and since it broke while I was shredding a CD it is NOT covered by the warranty. They kindly offered to sell me a reconditioned machine, ah bless them!Don't waste your money with this machine if you intend shredding anything more than paper. And going by Fellows Customer Care, I certainly wouldn't recommend buying a Fellows shredder at all! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Fellowes Power Shredder *by O***D on Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2011* This is a fantastic shredder that I bought. It's performance and function are exactly like the manufacturer had advertised. It fast and the cut was perfect the way I expected. The waste bin is so unique when I put a trash bag over and inverted the bin to empty it. No messy like the others, no lifting the heavy head to empty the waste bin. It does worth the money I paid for and I like it very much.The only thing I don't like is it makes louder noise compare to other shredders. It's just a minor complain not really a big deal to me. I'm happy with it's performance. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1170258-fellowes-powershred-ps-12cs-12-sheet-cross-cut-safesense-shredder](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1170258-fellowes-powershred-ps-12cs-12-sheet-cross-cut-safesense-shredder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-04*
